NAB 2023: Leader and Phabrix to show latest advances in broadcast media test and measurement 

In a combined display, Leader and Phabrix will focus on simultaneous and hybrid approaches to SDI and IP test and measurement at NAB 2023.

Leader offers a complete IP solution ranging from the LT4610 and LT4611 PTP generators plus the Zen Series LV5600 true hybrid IP/SDI waveform monitor and its LV7600 equivalent rasteriser, to the LVB440 IP traffic analyser. The LV5600 provides the same monitoring and measurement resources irrespective of whether the video signal is IP or SDI. That includes the ability to display and compare IP and SDI video sources simultaneously. It also gives engineering staff the tools they need to monitor and analyse IP network activity.

The Leader LV5350 and LV5300A battery-operable waveform monitors will be also demonstrated alongside the Sx TAG, QxL and QxP from Phabrix.

The QxP inherits the toolset and flexible architecture of the QxL rasteriser but in a 3U form factor with an integral high-contrast 1920×1200 7in multitouch LCD screen and a V-Mount or G-Mount battery plate. It is suitable for workflows involving portable HD, UHD, SDR, HDR, SDI and IP, as well as conventional and remote productions.

For real-time IP production, the QxP provides support for generation and analysis of HD/3G/UHD/EUHD 2110 payloads on generic SFP28/25GbE interfaces. The flexible architecture of the QxP offers in-field, engineering-grade data view and ANC packet inspection tools together with optional upgrades for SDI-UHD/4K, 2110-UHD/4K 48-60p RGB (EUHD), PCAP, Dolby E decode, HDR, and AV test signal generation.

Also on show is Leader’s LV5600, a mains-powered SDI/IP waveform monitor in a half-rack width 3U desktop chassis with a touchscreen front panel display. It provides all the facilities needed to monitor UHD/HD/SD SDI as well as video-over-IP signals in a hybrid operating environment.
